A lot of times folks walk by street musicians almost as if going out of their way to get past them. Don’t do that! Treat yourself to some great music and support street artists, whatever their craft may be.

There’s something about a great voice and a rich guitar sound that can truly brighten your day. It’s also totally unexpected amidst the hustle and bustle of the fast-paced downtown mindset. I highly recommend you stop and take in the music.

And who knows, you might discover a star before they break big. I could totally see Kharisma playing a club, bar, or theater. Then again, some street artists may not want the constraints of playing a venue. Sometimes playing on a sidewalk is more about performing for the pure love of craft than anything else.

Kharisma is a fantastic artist who can write his ticket, but don’t take my word for it, watch the video and listen for yourself! If you run into him, please show some love. Thanks for reading!

One of the best things about Louisville is the fact it’s a big city with a small town feel. Everyone was super nice and no one had any issues with the fact I was filming. In fact, many folks waved at the camera and wanted to be featured. I was sure to give everyone the URL to this website and hope they’ll become regulars here. I think it speaks volumes about our people.

In addition to the fact that public photography is a First Amendment protected activity it’s also a great way to promote our city and its people. Social media is the way of the future and we want more and more people to know about Louisville. We’re southern, midwestern, old-fashioned and modern. This is a great place to visit, live in, and engage in business. It’s also a very politically-engaged and sophisticated city.

Speaking of being politically-engaged I just had to ask the gentleman in the photo above if I could include him in my video. I remember everyone wearing X apparel when Spike Lee made his epic film about Malcom X in the early 90’s and how powerful it was culturally. That said, as I told the gentleman, many of the people who wore the clothes back then adopted it as more of a fashion statement. That’s not how this gentleman was getting down though. This shirt included Malcolm’s name which really spoke to me and if you watch the video you’ll see what the back of the shirt is all about. I was very impressed wit it and very impressed to interact with the gentleman. He’s the kind of person that makes Louisville the amazing city it is!

I hope everyone checks out my video Exploring Downtown Louisville. It’s simply impossible to cover everything in the downtown area in just 30 minutes but it’s about the quality not the quantity. I’ll definitely be back to cover other areas like 4th Street Live, NuLu, Whiskey Row and others. For now, I hope you check out this video and subscribe for more!!
